Did you actually sell that loom for $120?

It's a fuel line so you can replace with a new fuel line. It could be the fuel pump you are hearing hiss?

If you aren't in a hurry to sell then I'd be re-listing it a few times, Give it some time. I've had some luck in the past stuff won't sell, then after a while someone grabs them for what you want or close to. I have had items up for a buy now with a few watchers, then just because I want it gone I have $1 reserved it. A couple times I have made more than what it was listed for (you get a lot more views / watchers and bidders at the end) - But then again other times its been a complete flop and you get bugger all. But it does depend on what it is and if anyone is in the market for it (especially used stuff - I don't think this goes as well)

Looks good, Gotta be one of my favorite e46's.

Yes it was a 4 door tech2 kit, http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=653610499 Impossible to find because they will all be on cars so you probably won't find one unless as APT said, buy an e30 for the kit. Only came on SA built E30's thh 4 door kits too, coupe ones could come from SA built or an M325i - I stripped one earlier this year and sold the kit, Chances of stripping either is quite slim but it was rusted like f*ck.

A complete 4 door kit sold for 700$ a couple weeks back, I think the guy had it up for way to cheap someone grabbed it real fast. I also sold one earlier i the year for $1k, Front valance had damage though. Could appeal to someone who's been waiting for one to come up.

Looks like waiting it out paid off.. The temp needle should be bang on half way. Thermostat could be stuck open

Check the throttle position switch, it should click when the throttle is closed. Open and close the throttle and you should hear it click just as it closes, Car doesn't need to be running to check it. When it clicks closed, it lets the engine run off the ICV, If it isn't clicking it either needs to be adjusted (you can turn it slightly each way to adjust so it's in the close position when throttle is closed) or it needs to be replaced. It sits under the throttle body, 3 pin plug going into it right under the intake boot. Kind of a pain to get to it..

Pelican isn't really cheap for shipping, I think it starts off quite high but as you add items it slowly goes up.. Just do a decent amount they have cheap stuff it works out so much cheaper. Unless you get hit with GST like I just did Protip: Dont ship to a commercial address!

Try Darren (SRBMW), Pretty sure he was selling a G250 for ~$500

Going by where it sits on the loom, it's part of the Sherwood unit's loom and the connectors sit after it, so I'd imagine you just dump that part and attach connectors from the new headunit to the end to use that white plug again. Then again I have no idea what the filter does

The URL changed on them, If you take off the /forums part in the URL they work - Doesn't work : http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index.php?showtopic=20977&st=0 Does work : http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/index.php?showtopic=20977&st=0

You should try Big Noise in Hastings if you ever head up that way, I'm pretty sure they used Tint Magic now that I think about it.

BNT do redline oil

Looking good, You need to tooth brush those weaves though

I went by the E30 Wiki from what I remember, http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/index.php/Oil Also on our own forum stickied in the Maintenance forum here, (M20, E30) 1984-93 5w-40 325ix (M20, E30) 1985-93 5w-40 325i/is http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/27128-bmw-engine-oil-chart/ Back in the day I used 20w50 on m20b20 and M20 2.7, But yeah this stuff does not leak at all and since I did the oil change earlier in the year I have not had to top it up at all from the 4.5l I put in originally, however I keep the last 0.5l in my trunk just incase..

I use 5w40 synthetic. Forgot what brand though but it's in my boot. Quiet as for an m20.

The FPR is connected to the fuel rail on an m20, It's at the front end of the motor and easy to see. The other end is just a hose connecting directly to the fuel rail. Which end did you replace? Maybe someone added another in-line fuel filter or something.

Tried BNT, they referred me to the mechanic next door who was only able to grind the front face so that's all sorted, but I need the back shaved some to fit an m52. I think it needs about 3.5mm lathed down. Thanks for above, will give them a go tomorrow.

I have an m20 flywheel I need to have lightened, or some back side shaved atleast. Does anyone know any good places in Wellington, Or anywhere else I could send it to to have done that's not a rip off? Was looking around yesterday and got quoted $300+GST to only take the back side down to behind the ring gear and balancing etc, so only losing ~1kg (currently 8.4KG). I only want it down to about 7kg anyway or even a bit lower is fine, Willing to send it anywhere if it's cheaper

I notice one has the m50b25 intake on it, What are your thoughts on this Ray?

If it's OEM the leather boot is attached to the plastic "ring" which clips it into the center console. If it doesn't have one, it's either been ripped off or it's one of Ebay. Got pics?

Nice e30! IS Lip looks soo much better

Royalblue metallic.. Looks blue and goes purple / blue in the sun. Bad ass color had it on my last e30.
